Toyota-badged Maruti Baleno to be called Glanza, Launch this month

Recently, it was reported that Maruti Baleno-based Toyota's A11 will launch in June 2019. In a fresh development, Rushlane reports that Toyota's Baleno-based B2-segmenter will be called Glanza and that it will go on sale by the month-end.

The Glanza would be the first product out of Suzuki and Toyota's partnership. Last month, it emerged that Toyota even intends to borrow Ciaz and Ertiga for sale in India & Africa. By 2022, the company will commence the retail of the second-gen Maruti Vitara Brezza under its banner.
Reportedly, production of the Toyota Glanza is in full swing at the Suzuki's Gujarat-based manufacturing facility. Furthermore, it is being claimed that the production of the Baleno-based model will be shifted to TKM’s two plants in Bidadi, near Bangalore shortly. Moving the manufacturing to TKM's plant will not only help the company utilise the production capacity of its manufacturing units to the fullest but will even help free up space at Suzuki's Gujarat plant.
The Toyota Glanza will draw power from the BSIV-compliant 1.2-litre K12B engine. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual gearbox and a CVT. While the top-selling B2-segmenter has recently received the BSVI-compliant 1.2-litre DualJet K12C engine with Smart Hybrid (SHVS) system, it isn't known when this update would make its way into the Glanza. It is being said that the new model will be available in two trims, namely Zeta and Alpha.

Maruti Suzuki and Toyota Kirloskar Motor won't stop at just sharing of vehicles and technologies. A report that surfaced last year stated that the Japanese duo is even considering sharing their service outlets, which should benefit TKM significantly.

It looks like Toyota not doing any changes to Beleno they just swapping Suzuki Badge with Toyota Look at those tail lamps its looks exactly like beleno even boot lid also same I expected minimum changes like new redesigned bumper new head and tail lamps.

Getting Toyota cars is good for MSIL but the same cannot be said for Toyota. MSIL cars are not better built compared to that of Toyota and this may damage the brand name in India. Toyota should think twice before selling this tin-can under their badge. I for one, vouch Toyota for their reliability and I'm already not feeling good about selling Baleno with T-badge!!

Found the undisguised pics of Toyota "Glanza"..... have to admit Renault and Nissan have done better job in regards to Duster->Terrano , Micra->Pulse and Sunny -> Scala. Baleno->Glanza is nothing but badge swap!

To be honest, Toyota can learn a thing or two when it comes to rebadging from Nissan and Renault.

Really sad to see this car. So it looks like, other than changing the badges, there is nothing that is new in the "New Toyota Glanza".
What kind of audience is Toyota targeting, by selling the same car with different badges at a higher price?
From the news , its clear that the car is entirely manufactured by Maruti, so the expectations about better build quality or sheet metal quality is also gone.

Glanza to become first Toyota in India with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay

The Glanza’s Smart Playcast system will come with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto making it the first Toyota product in India to get these features. Security concerns have kept Toyota from embracing the systems on a global level thus far, though newer models will start getting them. The Playcast system will not come with onboard navigation, though the feature can be used via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The Playcast system will also feature voice commands, USB, Bluetooth and AUX. Both variants of the Glanza are likely to come with a four-speaker and two-tweeter setup.
